Happy New Year (hopefully)

Darklings

on Jan. 1, 2021

2020 was rough. Not everyone made it, and those of us that did, have scars to show for it.

The way we worked, lived, socialized, even bought groceries changed.

Hopefully, we've come out the other side stronger, wiser, more compassionate. At least, that's my hope.

The whole world has, and is, still going through this mess together With all the differences that make each person special and unique, we all share the single fact that we are all people.

Maybe, one day, we will all realize that.

May this year be better than the last.
